Somehow, advanced Triada malware was added to devices before reaching resellers.

      Cool. 500W worth of lamps for (maybe) 32" of terrible quality picture?

          Except that old CRT cannot display modern digital images.

            Yeah, I was making a joke. Do love that bastard though, also its fun to daisy chain adapters and run firesticks and shit on it. Good for old movies and games that were intended for CRT.

              I tried to make that shit work with Raspberry pi. All attempts were futile.
